Capítulo 117: Chapter One Hundred and Eighteen

"Man on the stairs, Asher. Watch your back"

Asher swore under his breath. There was an extra man on duty tonight. Wasn't that always the way?

He left the door, pivoted and pressed his body into the shadows. Someone walked into view, his gun drawn.

"Hey, Mildred, are you alright? There's been some trouble. Chase is missing"

"What?"

When things went to hell, they did so at light speed. Kimberly's female guard aka Mildred, stumbled from her seat. Asher heard the sound just as he zapped the guard. Unfortunately she tried the door and found it unlocked. There was the sound of a pistol being cocked.

Asher dropped the guard onto the landing and waited for Mildred to come out, hoping she was just stupid enough not to follow orders. That rather than staying with her prisoner, she would venture onto the landing.

Sure enough, the door cracked open. He got her in the arm before she cleared the threshold. Which left Kimberly Blake all alone.
